Patient's question:
Does a miscarriage in the first pregnancy lead to habitual abortion?Doctor's answer:
?Hello, habitual abortion refers to the occurrence of three or more consecutive spontaneous abortions, with the timing of each miscarriage occurring in the same gestational month or varying in duration. Its clinical manifestations are similar to those of general abortion and can also progress through stages such as threatened abortion - inevitable abortion - incomplete or complete abortion. In the early stages, it may only manifest as slight vaginal bleeding or mild lower abdominal pain, with bleeding duration lasting for several days or weeks and a relatively small amount of blood. Once vaginal bleeding increases and abdominal pain worsens, with cervical dilation observed and even the presence of a fetal sac blocking the cervix, the abortion becomes inevitable. If all pregnancy tissue is expelled, it is called a complete abortion; if only part of the pregnancy tissue is expelled and some remains in the uterine cavity, it is called an incomplete abortion, requiring immediate uterine evacuation.
